[instrumental Solo steel drums intro] [pause for a beat] [interlude] [Build-up] [Intro] Blue wata ask mi soul “Who yuh be?” Di forest silent, di breeze nah talk Dis world—yuh see no edge at all Bombo claat! [Verse 1] Inna di night of existence Choice open like wound, persistent Subjective truth cyaan find no eye Mi haffi leap, cyaan justify Di leap of faith Only echo inna silent place Dat leap mek mi be mi face But no one prove di trace [Chorus] When pan-theism and self start sway Mi and dem mix inna blurry way Dialectic never sleep Negation birth di truth so deep Mi was mi, mi claim mi name But whose eye did see dat frame? [Verse 2] Affirm, deny, tese, anti-tese Mi lost miself in self-release Di Absolute Spirit laugh fi real Mi identity start to peel “Yuh still nuh start,” it seh so cold Pan-theism light shine through di fold But dat light belong to none It was all, yet it was none [pause for a beat] [Build-up] [Bridge] [Build-up Uplifting Harmony Vocals] Di forest nah be forest no more Even di smallest twig got lore A thousand tale in every grain One treasure born from silent pain But di strangest ting mi ever find Was mi own self in twisted mind “Mi was mi,” mi seh again “Just mi, pure, no pretend” [Build-up Uplifting Harmony Vocals] [Final Chorus] From alienation mi sight di line Di only edge in dis design Di leap nah done, it stretch in time Each choice a mark, each step a sign Mi keep leaping, mi cyaan resign Dat leap—mi proof, mi lifeline [Refrain] [Refrain] [Fade Out]
